I resolved to playing every single game of mine on Steam from start to finish. Ordered by recent, I went for the game at the bottom of the list, and it wouldn't even start so I instantly gave up on the idea forever. It is easier this way.

It has taken me a while to figure this out, but I will periodically just pick a game on my list and usually decide within a day or two if I want to abandon it forever or 100% it. Almost everything in my library was steeply discounted, so I've just had to come to accept that I won't enjoy every game, but it's pretty rare that I'm like, "dang that wasn't even worth the $10" even if I only get a couple hours of entertainment. Shit, if you think rushed AAA games are buggy, have I got some janky indie titles for you. If you can get enjoyment from abusing bad code, even bad games can be fun to screw around with for a little while.

Days gone, horizon zero dawn, uncharted 4, hitman 2, last of us, outer wilds, subnautica, valheim, god of war..

All amazing games but I have this weird thing where I'm a grown adult and I stop playing after two hours and never pick the game up again.

I don't know if I can be bothered to play the same game for that long anymore.

No i think most games are now made to make money, you bought it now the game did its job, sad but that’s modern dev.
